Imagine installing Linux and having Microsoft word, Adobe products, or some games pre-installed without pain.

That’s Windows. What you’re looking for is Microsoft Windows. I would very much not like to imagine that.

Thank you. I recently set up my own instance and realized the need for tools that can assist in managing.

Where? I don’t know who’s project your referencing?

Actually, I don’t care enough. I didn’t realize I responded to your follow up to someone posting their custom install scripts. I meant generally that’s not an issue I’ve ever come across. Then again, I don’t tend to install distro’s that simply add a couple custom wallpapers and welcome app. I’ll stick with base install from the source.

Not everyone who participates with their own instance can afford storage. Some users might have bandwidth restrictions. It’s the Fediverse. Wild, unpredictable and anyone can participate.

• Always document things you want to keep, never rely on someone else to do it for you.

Why would it not? I think maybe a few times in 20 years I’ve come across an installer that didn’t let you do custom partitioning.
